About Me

After studying sociology, law, and psychology at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, I completed my PhD at LMU in 2011 with a dissertation on the sociology of political parties. Since then, LMU has been my home base, punctuated by visiting professorships and guest lectureships in Bielefeld, Erfurt, Vienna, and Paris, among other places.

Since my PhD, my empirical and theoretical research has primarily focused on the consequences of the computer revolution for political publics.

I am the spokesperson for the Political Sociology Section of the German Sociological Association and the editor of the Journal for Theoretical Sociology.
